This exhibition identifies a distinctive area of interest among artists who have created ‘portraits’ or vignettes of inanimate, sculptural objects using film and video. Looking primarily at the ways in which the status or presence of sculptures can be conveyed or manipulated by the moving image, it considers methods in which film and video can offer the viewer a different way of looking, examining and critiquing objects and their purpose and display. The title of the exhibition is taken from Ulla von Brandenburg’s 2009 film ‘The Objects’.
